HE Advantages of Gro\ving 

 D^va^f Fruit Trees 



Do you know that dwarf fruit trees bear bigger, better fruit, bear several years earlier, and produce 

 more return for a given space than standard trees? This is all true and there are even more important 

 points. 



The low broad heads are within reach, so that apples or pears can be easily picked. The pests 

 that are expected to destroy the majority of home fruit gardens within a few years (asserted by leading 

 writers) are easily controlled on dwarf trees. You can plant your garden full of dwarf trees and still 

 grow strawberries and most vegetables. The dense shade of standard trees prevents the use of the 

 ground for other purposes. 



Standard trees require ten years to come into full bearing; with dwarfs some varieties will bear the 

 first year, all will produce a considerable crop the second year, and 

 bear fully the fourth. 



You can have forty trees, with a variety, in a 

 space 20 feet square, save several years, get better 

 fruit, and each tree should bear a bushel a year 



We offer the best stock ever produced in this country. Our 

 apples are grafted on Paradise stock, and the pears on quince 

 stock. They will succeed in many places where standard trees 

 would fail. In a word, they are the kind of dwarf trees that will 

 put their strength into fruit instead of wood. 



To secure full season's growth, order at once for 

 Autumn planting. Our Illustrated Booklet including de- 

 scriptions of Varieties and Cultural Directions sent on 

 request.
